Do you ever feel uncertainty from being self-employed?

So why do you even bother to be here, as we are not up to your standard, and low-life people according to your motto?

I've addressed this in other threads. Basically once you're working 14+ hours a day, it gets mentally exhausting. Most studies say you need to take a ~5 minute break every 30-60 minutes. Some scroll social media... Me? I go to the gym once then shitpost on the forums and get into pissing contests with people making $4/day.

That's why I like conferences, because it's everyone that I like from BHW, minus anyone who can't afford a plane ticket and hotel. So I find it a really productive environment to network and chill. Great experiences always. I hope Damien has another Ungagged in Vegas soon.

You confessed to being a workaholic, Mac. At least you get paid 100 times as much as losers.

I can't complain about that, but of course as expected, once you hit 5 figures per month, you just start chasing 5 figures a day (personal income, not sales), so it continues.

I believe 5 figures per day will be easier to hit than 5 figures per month because basically the jump is to just diversify investment, or at least that's how I see it.

This is all a guess though because I'm not there

When I started out, I had a lot of uncertainty about being self-employed: friends and family have problems with you all of the sudden (especially when you make more money than them), your business' lack of history makes clients more dubious to do business with you, and you get extra scrutiny during the house-buying process.

I've made it through all of that, so I'm fine with being self-employed these days. Once you're established, you'll probably feel the same as well.

The forum will never leave you.

Your boss and a company can let you go as soon as you get sick or wake up late.

You can't put a forum membership in your resume. If you are decent at your job and you have past experience you can get new jobs.

Let's talk in 10 years about uncertainty.
